PART II.

THE DISEASES OF WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY, AND IN CHILD-BED.

Women are liable during pregnancy, and after childbirth, to most of the diseases which afflict them at other times, and also to many derangements peculiar to those periods. As a general rule either of those conditions somewhat modifies the disease, and also necessitates certain differences in its treatment. My former work on the Diseases of Women having treated on all those affections common to every other period, I shall in this confine myself chiefly to those peculiar to the two conditions referred to; giving their causes, symptoms, and treatment, with practical hints for their prevention.
